Thanks Wayne.

You're my source for the Omega 18. I just need to recover from all my scratch Foreplay purchases.

I was going to use one of those SS plate amps for the Omega... Any recommendations?

Tom

My experience with plate amps is limited to car stereo applications. But I might suggest that you might look at Crown and QSC amplifiers. They're really not that expensive, and will last a lifetime. They'll also hold their resale value, and they sound great.

I am looking for capacitors for a 41-280. Where is a good place to start?

Thanks.

You can replace them with 250V polypropylene caps of the same capacitance value. I usually do that with most old tube radios, because the capacitors are almost always bad.

I see a LOT of radios that it might be. Seems like they used this 121 code on about half of their radios. What tubes were used in it?

Hi Tom!

In the Rider CD's, I see a Philco 46-280 and a handful of 41-xxx models, but no 41-280 listed between 1926 and 1947. Sometimes it's that way, and I'm not sure if the Rider documentation is incomplete or what. Each of the Philco radios I saw were made in WWII years, or shortly afterwards. So I'll look for chassis that use (2) 7B7 tubes and a 7C6.

By the way, I have a NOS 7C6 tube if you need it. I bought a bunch of NOS tubes and I've kept many for my own personal stash and I'm selling the rest on eBay. Every one that I've put on the tube tester checked out 100%, so I got very lucky with this purchase.

Wayne
